Saturn-like vehicles are so named because of their central “ring”.
They are frequently in the 5 – 15 meter size range. In daylight, the colour of the Saturn-like vehicles range from a brightly polished silver colour to a dull aluminum, also a blue or blue-silver colour.
At night a neon-like, solid- colour luminescence emanates from an envelope of air around the objects like a halo, rather from the vehicle directly. This halo tends to obscure the vehicle, making the edges indistinct.
Around Saturn’s, the halo is most concentrated near the rim, more extensive below than above. The upper hemisphere has been seen to be a fiery red or orange colour. The annual ring has been seen to rotate.
Saturn vehicles are often seen in pairs and seldom appear to land. Often they are witness at low level spinning at tremendous speed. Unlike other craft witnessed at close proximity, it is unusual for there to be any noise associated with these vehicles.
REPORT 1
On February 24, 1958, at 3.05am, three men were traveling in a car in the state of Bahia, Brazil. Their car began missing and coughing, and came to a complete stop.
As they could not locate the cause of the trouble, they decided to sleep on the side of the road until morning. Soon they noticed a huge luminous object overhead. It glowed with a strange light, between a silver and a blue (silver-blue is fully ionized). At first it was only a light, but as it got closer they could discern a solid object behind the glow.
The object was two hemispheres, one above the other in normal orientation, but between them was a luminous disk spinning at high speed. The disk was the source of the brilliant glow surrounding the entire object. The “disk” is of course better described as the Saturn ring.
The object came silently toward the car; when it was about 240 feet from the observers and about 90 feet above the ground, the three men were able to clearly discern its contours. The bottom was slightly smaller than the top hemisphere and slightly flattened. The luminosity spread in a curtain of luminosity between the UFO and the ground below. By this time the men were out of the car, but the frightened driver got back in. The other two decided to investigate and walked toward the strange object.
As they approached the illuminated area, which was about twice the size of the UFO in diameter of 60-75 feet, the object took off in a vertical climb (demonstrating more concern for the safety of the men than the men themselves showed). It stopped at an altitude of about 600 feet and made a tight circle in the sky, its luminous focus on the ground tracing a larger circle than the object itself was tracing in the sky.
The UFO stopped again, and one of the men, Dr. Pereira, noted that the Saturn ring was notched like a cogwheel whose indentations appeared to be oblique in relation to the edge of the ring. The object began to move again, in a series of high speed maneuvers, sometimes moving vertically, sometimes horizontally, in different directions, and sometimes in tight circles about the car. These maneuvers were described in terms such as “moving faster than lightening” and “becoming a dot in the sky in a split second.” The object did a dead-leaf descent, stopping 9 – 12 feet from the ground. When the observers again tried to approach it, the UFO left at high speed. It had stayed one and a half hours. The car then started without difficulty.
REPORT 2
Near Ponta Poran, in southern Brazil on December 21, a party of Brazilians were driving a Jeep along a country road about 6.30pm on a cloudy evening.
Two near-spherical UFOs were seen following a horizontal course, but they oscillated from side to side with a wobbling motion. One of them stopped, then dived at the Jeep while the other one circled overhead. While they maneuvered, their illumination was intense, coming mainly from a bright silvery glow surrounding the lower hemisphere, which gave the vehicle an aspect of brilliance although their outlines seemed obscured by this very illumination.
The vehicles appeared to be twins. Each one intermittently send a brilliant bean of light at the Jeep, which, however, had no effect on the motor, and the driver kept going the best he could. When he hesitated, one would shine a beam of light on the road ahead and the other would hover over the illuminated spot as if to land. When it finally did land, the illumination intensity died down and the outline became clear.
It was an oblate, or flattened spheroid about 15 feet in diameter and was surrounded by a flat ring at the equator which seemed to rotate. The upper hemisphere, or hemispheric, was a fiery red, as was the ring, and, again, the bottom was lit by a silvery glow. There were no other features, such as doors or windows visible. There also was no heat, odor or perceptible noise. The vehicles were excellent examples of the classic Saturn-type UFO.
